Our call: Tulsa over Tulane 45-9. Result: Tulsa won 37-13 as G.J. Kinne, a transfer from Texas who sat out the last season, passed for 211 yards and ran for 77, while Damaris Johnson added 252 all-purpose yards (60 yards receiving, 31 yards rushing, 85 yards returning punts, and 76 kickoff return yards) that were the significant difference between the two teams, as Tulsa outgained Tulane only 412 to 364 yards in total offense (rushing+passing), averaging 6.5 net yards gained per play to 5.5 for Tulane. W-L and Odds: We called the winner and beat the spread. Thus far this season we are 6-4 W-L in picking the winner and 3-3 against the spread.

Our call: Hawaii over Central Arkansas (FCS) 41-31 Result: Hawaii won 25-20 as Greg Alexander threw 3 TD passes, but was stymied by 4 turnovers. The Warriors outgained the Bears 415 to 270 yards on total offense (6.9 net average yards per play for Hawaii to 4.6 net average yards per play for Central Arkansas) but could not convert that to a larger score advantage because of offensive miscues. W-L and Odds: We called the winner but there was no official line. Thus far this season we are 7-4 W-L in picking the winner and 3-3 against the spread.
